Cotts, I'm surprised that you didn't note the irony of Pelosi demanding that Bush and/or his flunkies be brought to justice when you have previously agreed that she's just as culpable as anyone else in the "illegal torture" of terrorists.

Maybe it would send a message that the law applies equally to all people. Is that something bad?

That could be something good, as long as it applies to all public servants, regardless of whether they have an "R" or a "D" behind their names.

Would any of you that favor not seeing Bush & C.O prosecuted feel the same way if we changed the name to Obama? If recent history is any indicator it would seem that not to be the case. The right was rabid to prosecute Clinton for lying to a Grand Jury. If it is found that their is enough evidence to suggest that the Bush Administration committed crimes far more serious in scope than Clinton's and you still feel that they shouldn't be prosecuted it would seem to me that their is a serious disconnect in your reasoning.

Well, that's a lie. I'm not really surprised.

Still haven't changed my mind on that. If found to be culpable of any wrong doing then she should brought to justice like anyone else.
It is surprising though that she would bring this up when my personal opinion is that she is somehow involved.

Here's something we agree on. ALL of us should be accountable to the law of the land. What Nancy is doing is political grandstanding and is no less dispicable than the same tactics used by some on the right when it came to Bill Clinton.
If President Obama was serious about cleaning up government, he would start with ensuring that the recent group of folks (his nominees) who have been accused of tax evasion are treated exactly the same way as you or I would be under the same circumstances. He would publicly anounce it and follow through. He would follow through with Rangle, as well. He would fire Tim Geithner based on ethics concerns (You should never hire talent over character). After that, he could begin a move to procecute ALL elected officials on both sides of the aisle that have broken the law within the last 2 years. He would have my full support as well as that of the people. I think that our Congress could benefit from a "witch hunt" as long as it was bipartisan, out in the open, and actually held our elected officials to the laws that they have written.
But you and I don't live on a planet where that is a possiblity, so we'll have to live with idiots like Nancy prattle on about Bush's crimes and we have to deal with our President pissing down our backs and then telling us it's raining.
